Museums of Paris
There are simply too many to list, but we provide some of our favorites and the most popular.
Paris museums are generally open from 9 or 10am until 5 or 6pm, but some open later and close at 8 or 9pm. Most museums are closed on Monday or Tuesday, but  some are open 7 days a week and some are open very late. Many museums and monuments are open late twice a week, until 9 or 10pm.
They light them up at night... 276 monuments, hotels, churches, fountains, bridges and canals, starting with the Eiffel Tower, the "queen" of the illuminations.
